Bible Gateway for Android
This latest update has taken a once great app To one of the worst I use for Bible study. The very light grey font, home screen, is hard to read; same with the " READ THE BIBLE ICON" Reading any night mode highlighted, red letter verses, is near impossible. I notified support previously about this issue. The ads are very intrusive. I understand you need to make money but this seems over the top.
I think this is the best online Bible by far. With so many translations to choose from, and the ability to easily highlight and take notes, along with devotionals and daily verses, there's not much more you can get. Plus, I like the updated look. Thank you SO much!!!
The latest update introduced a rather annoying bug. If you switch version say from NIV to CEB, it disregards the book you were reading and take you to the verse of the day. And that resetting seems to be for everything. This is a great app. But that bug is unbearable. Once the bug is fixed I'll revise my rating.
The many resources reference scriptures but gives an error saying "check your internet connection" when you try to touch to view any of them. It would be nice if that worked! I mean 5 stars nice for a bible app!
The recent changes have made the resources very clunky to access on my Galaxy phone. Rather than simply highlighting, selecting resources and learning as I have for years with the previous version, I now have to scroll through a countless ads list with no indication of which ones are still available and which ones are paid only. Am very sad for losing what has been my first read of the day and time of worship/learning for many years to an annoying streaming sales pitch!
I love the versatility of this app. It is easy to pull up different versions. It is intuitive. I can mark my verses I want to study. I can have it read to me. I can choose a font for easier reading. Best bible app I've ever used.
A good app. Some little bugs still but not a deal breaker. No junky extras. Love the audio readings. This is the third Bible app I've tried and love it. Love hearing David suchet read. Update changed it to Spanish! Loss Points there.
I used to love the app, especially since I could share the daily scripture with family members. But now when I share scripture instead of giving the scripture it gives a bunch of gobbledygook. I have to go back erase it all and type in the scripture location. Finding it easier to just use a different app to share with family now.
Great job on the app! Big time user of the bible gateway website, and now equally so for the app. Love all the translations and features to help me better understand the word of God. Thank you!
Its ok. Its better than nothing, but has allot of issues. It regularly crashes, forgets saved notes, and is difficult to navigate. The notes section is extremely basic, and could use allot more improving. I feel like I use this app out of necessity. There arent many other options.
Overall this app is reliable. But, you can't seem to get from the verse to the note connected to the verse directly. If you have an existing note and want to add to it, you have to go to Notes and then search for it because notes are not indexable.
Great Bible app. Has many translations and a feature where it reads the Bible to you. Also has a history function which makes it easy to flip between passages. Finally it has good resources.
I would like to report an inappropriate advert for a pro-israel campaign. It asks the question whether America should continue to stand with Israel, but does not allow a no answer. It is misleading and disgustingly pro-atrocity, for a Christian app.
They finally have a Korean version! Also, i like this app much better than the other one because you can continually scroll down to the next chapter and look at multiple chapters on one page.
Nice app has more than on translation to chose from to listen to word. Also has a lot of translation to read the word. But only works online. Due to new change now it only get 2 stars. Want old version back. At least I could down load page to cache & it would open later to be red. Now only works with internet connection.
DO NOT replace your older version with this (3.0.0) you will regret it. It was a good study tool but is now an overt marketing platform with with adverts on virtually every area and blind links to adverts and tasters.
Very good Bible app, except I was at a church where you couldn't get phone service and also unable to use Bible app. It would be nice to be able to read and look up Bible text off line.
I use this app to "read" in the car or when i have a bit of down time for a quick pick me up from the word. It is a good app allowing different readers, audio and searches well.
The latest version has this annoying feature that keeps selecting the audio Bible so instead of the name of the book of scripture it displays "audio Bible " and you can't pick the drop down to select another book.
App does not converge to Facebook. Bugs need fixing. I tap to share on Facebook and it goes to my email. Not good. It is supposed to give Me options when I hit share
All of the sudden, my explore is in Spanish. My daily verse is luckily still in English. Please fix! Great app
Great app. I have been using this app for almost five years now. It is not the most downloaded in Google Play Store. However, I personally prefer this Bible app to all others. Thanks for the great work!!
It's great it has all my favorite versions, even allowing you to view two at a time side by side. It's free it's life what more do you need to know?
I love this app! It's free, there are no annoying ads, and best of all; it remembers where I left off, unlike another Message that I used.
I love having the bible with me wherever I go. Audio...reading plans...notes...Favorites!...alternate translations...verse of the day...I love everything about this app!
Awesome! Every translation, multiple audio formats, VERY reasonable subscription that gives access to a plethora of study tools!
This app was better until you added the 'Sample'resources. Now you have to scroll way down to find the free ones. I have to lower my rating ftom a 4 to only a 3.
I enjoy using this app a lot. My husband and I both desire to have the word read to us so absorb more.
Easy to use as a reference anytime and anywhere. You have the entire Bible on your phone in any version you want.
I appreciate that I can compare different versions which helps in my studies. Easy navigation! This is my go to Bible app.
Can you please add the children's version for the app. I can get it on the laptop but not my phone.
One of my favorite Android apps. Very handy and it's easy to use so I can find what I'm looking for.
I Love this App. It has Greatly helped my Bible Study. Plus I love having a bible with me everywhere I go.
Use to love this app....now all the references you have to pay for. Think that's pretty sad.
Very unhappy as I cannot read the daily reading plan. I've loaded and reloaded the app with no success. I'm totally frustrated. HELP!
My favorite bible. I love the easy switch to other versions. Adds depth of understanding.
Much improved! Clean interface! A blessing! Charcoal theme would be very helpful!
Wonderful tool. I've barely scratched the surface of its capabilities.
It easy to use and so helpful thank You GOD bless

If I could rate this app higher, I certainly would. First, for free, with minimal ads, out of the way, pick a Bible..ANY Bible. No barriers, your choice.. Enjoy God's Word. Search & navigate with ease. Your profile will be compatible with the web page. Now, add the monthly subscription and get the ability to mark favorite quotes, add notes, and WOW!... a complete library of study materials that it would take years to pull together. Sermons, Bible encyclopedias, dictionaries, theme studies, maps....Don't miss out on this one. You will not be disappointed, I am a forever fan!
